This was my go-to location because it's conveniently the closest one to home, but after last night I'll sacrifice the extra travel time.
I got there around 6 to do some quick shopping. Already knew what I needed, and once again - they NEVER bring up new arrivals. I circled the store up and down twice to find a top I wanted. The store wasn't busy at the time that I got there, the staff once again walks around avoiding eye contact with customers, and continues their conversations with other coworkers. I approached one of the employees who was folding some jeans - hey, I'm not in a rush but when you're done folding would you mind helping me find a top please, I have the item number. (phone in my hand on the shirt I'm looking for) Idiot takes a breath - "go to the fitting room, they can help you".
I go to the fitting room which BTW - I worked in retail, I know you threw me to someone else cause you didn't want to be bothered, and it's not the fitting rooms responsibly to help customers find items. I let the girl know this guy sent me to her & she catches an attitude (I understood the attitude). What I didn't understand was her and another employee then started giving me dirty looks talking in Spanish. Guy on the floor comes to the fitting room, the chick asked him to help me - which he then started to piss and moan about it cause he's "soooooo busy". No you're not busy, you're just lazy. (You really need to laugh when everyone wants to cry about making minimum wage)
So the guy takes my item number and said he'll be right up, that it's downstairs (obviously). Guess how long I waited for the top to be brought upstairs - 30 MINUTES. (I was on the phone the entire time I was waiting) 30 minutes while I watched the guy who took my item number coming upstairs hanging out and talking to his coworkers. I approached him and before I could say anything - "it's coming up". Finally some chick comes upstairs rolling her eyes handing me the top. (I'm so sorry that you had to WORK & do the job you get PAID to do) I was so turned off that I didn't bother trying anything on, just went straight to check out. (Only people nice are at the registers btw)
I would've understood their attitudes, pettiness, laziness, if it was really busy and if I had some nasty attitude. The store was dead, and I've worked in retail and understand how annoying it can be. I always treat everyone with respect - shit, I even help fold the tables, the racks, put everything back on the hangers after I try things on, cause I even get annoyed lol.
What the staff in this location need to understand is - there's absolutely no reason for the way you all act. If you can't work in retail, then quit. And YOU'RE WELCOME for that direct deposit that hits your account. read more
